Agreed. Wishing for him to get beaned, is out of line. He has the right to troll us, his team won the division, we did not.

He has "the right to troll us". I suppose so but there is something called celebrating with dignity and acting like a professional too. However, Valverde is far from acting professional on the diamond so it isn't surprising.

Valverde has 277 career saves, and I'm pretty sure he has acted like a douche after every single one of them.

Addison Reed has 29 career saves, yet he acts like he has done it before each time he closes out a game.

You're right; some people act like pros and some people don't. What can you do? Valverde won, so we have to put up with his ****. Just have to make sure he doesn't win next year.

I just don't get these anti tigers posts. Who gives a **** what the Tigers do. Them going 3 and out is still better than crashing and burning like we did. Seems like sour grapes to just sit here and bash them. I am hurt at our performance and their success or failure in postseason won't make me feel better/worse.

Yep. No ill will towards the Tigers here. Cabrera's a joy to watch at the plate, Verlander is a master of his craft, etc etc. They can do whatever they want in the postseason.

"Genius is not replicable. Inspiration, though, is contagious, and multiform — and even just to see, close up, power and aggression made vulnerable to beauty is to feel inspired and (in a fleeting, mortal way) reconciled."

IIRC back in the '07 playoffs the Cubs were pretty vocal about Valverde's hot dogging when he was with the DBacks, particularly from a certain hot dogger named Ron Santo (talk about "pot meet kettle"!!!). Those archived threads make for some mighty interesting reading! http://www.whitesoxinteractive.com/v...light=valverde
